CATCH UP ON POPULAR POSTS

I have been keeping a secret for a few months... and it has been hard not to give it away! Thank goodness I can finally tell you today!!!

After 4 1/2 year of blogging and 1,457 posts I am finally moving to WORDPRESS.... and my blog is being totally redesigned!

I have been working with Julie at BLOGGER BOUTIQUE for months to make StoneGable even better and more user friendly! AND StoneGable will have a new, fresh look without loosing my signature style (lots of big images).

The day has finally come!!!! It is moving day!

So what does that mean for my readers?

It means no new posts for a few days... I have so many posts and pictures to move that the whole process might take up to 3 days!

You can still enjoy all of my past posts and dive into my archives for inspiration... all 1,456 previous posts!

And when I am finally moved to Wordpress, I will begin posting new material right away. It may take a little while before I learn the Wordpress ropes. So please be patient while I learn how to navigate this new system.

The end goal is to give StoneGable a new, fresh and friendly look and to help bring more and better material to my dear readers.

Do you have an easy bill paying system... or does your mail lay in piles around the house? Are your bills sandwiched between Southern Living magazine and the Ballard Design catalog and lots of messy papers?

I HATE PAYING BILLS!

I don't have a mind for numbers and I think accounting is my own personal h__l!

But I'm not really into the idea of bill collectors calling me on the phone or knocking at my door...

So, I came up with an EASY system to pay all our bills. A system that is very clear cut and organized and doesn't take a lot of time...

A very eventful week is now behind me! It started off with my son Christopher having a big surgery... then my birthday... and then the Haven Blogger's Conference.Chris went through surgery well and is beginning a long healing process and I am sitting in the Atlanta Airport as I write this. The plane is delayed and am anxious to get home!But, I've had lots of time to think about recipes and StoneGable and family and all I learn at Haven and next week's posts.But for now... Here's what's ON THE MENU...

Don't we love kitchens! Even if you don't cook, most of us have a love affair with a great looking kitchen! And farmhouse kitchens are so on trend right now. They never go out of style really... because they are such a classic!

I'm happy to see farmhouse kitchens so popular right now!

A farmhouse kitchen can be dressy and elegant... chippy and rustic... or anything in between!
